Psychosocial hazards—factors in the workplace that affect mental health and well-being—present a unique challenge.

Micro-Conflicts: Too Small to Report, Too Difficult to Resolve
Workplace conflict is bleeding organizations dry, costing over 50 billion dollars annually across Australia, the UK, and the USA in lost productivity. Yet, the root of this costly issue isn’t major disputes or legal cases—it’s the thousands of unresolved minor spats or micro-conflicts that happen daily.
